Redline Racer (known as Suzuki Alstare Extreme Racing on the European and North American Dreamcast versions, as well as the Game Boy Color version and the Microsoft Windows re-release in Europe) is a racing game developed by Criterion Games and published by Ubisoft.

Players take on the role of a motorcycle racer, starting each race in last place. Initially, three tracks and three motorcycles can be selected, and winning races unlocks additional tracks and motorcycles (a total of 10 tracks and 8 motorcycles). Players can also choose their racer’s team affiliation and gender. All tracks are set in diverse environments, including canyons, a tropical island without highways, and orchards. Each race consists of 3 laps.

The game was first mentioned in January 1998.

It received a "mixed" rating on the review aggregation site GameRankings. Next Generation described it as "just another mediocre racing game to pass the time," noting that "it's a shame that Redline Racer is really nice to look at."
